The Fairways Golf Course?s layout unfurls over rolling terrain teeming with wetlands and native grasses. Multiple water hazards and fast greens pose challenges for experienced players, and relatively open fairways and a set of closer, forward tees cater to golfers of all experience levels. A dramatic conclusion awaits at the par-4, 419-yard 18th hole?the course?s most challenging hole?where golfers must contend with a dog-leg right and a small pond that arches around the front and left sides of the green. Golfers can prepare for the round at the driving range and practice green, or simply ask the course?s beverage-cart operator for the liquid cure for a slice-prone swing.
The EWU Eagles play their home games at the recently renovated Roos Field, which boasts an intimidating red-turf surface called the "Inferno"—confused opposing teams frequently draw up plays involving hopping from couches to pillowcases in an attempt to avoid this "lava." The family pass allows two adults and three children, or two adults and three cleverly disguised vuvuzelas, the opportunity to taste the festive atmosphere of college football. Tickets can be redeemed at the box office and are valid for the best available seats.

AWF first launched African Wildlife Capital (AWC) in 2011. In the nearly three years since, AWC has moved quickly and successfully to provide financing to a variety of small and midsize African companies—and, as a result, has been able to provide another way to ensure conservation results on the continent.
At the start of 2014, I was traveling in Dead Vlei, Namibia. When I was in the same location a year earlier, I didn't see any jackals bothering tourists (admittedly, that could have been random luck).

He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
Let's see..... I did 10 gal of a tripple back at the end of October 2011 5 gal I kegged about a 3 months ago and it's great! The other 5gal is still in the primary I'll have to get around to kegging it soon...... MMMMMMMM 9.9% abv on tap...MMMMMM.... snore........
God's own drunk, and a fearless man.
So I actually have my first Tripel in the primary. Its been there for 4 weeks now. I was going to bottle it this weekend and let it sit in the bottles for a few weeks. Do you guys recommend just leaving it in the primary for another few weeks, or do I need to get it off the yeast cake? Also, I'm a bit confused about the conversation above. Are you saying you re-pitch the yeast for bottling instead of using priming sugar to create carbonation? That would be awesome, but i've never heard of that being done before.
I am also in the process my first tripel. It was a brewers best kit.

A notable feature of almost all Kokoda Foundation research is that it is undertaken in close cooperation with relevant senior officials and others who are directly engaged in relevant functions or who carry relevant responsibilities. Typically such projects involve two or more closed workshops that engage relevant senior officials and others with strong expertise of relevance to the future issues that are being considered. Because these projects rarely revolve around immediate policy imperatives, frank, open and free-ranging debate is the norm. Innovative new insights and approaches are frequently generated. Sponsoring organisations are always offered opportunities to participate in such closed workshops and other research activities.
When appointed by the Kokoda Foundation Board, Research Team Leaders assume responsibility for all aspects of planning and managing the assigned project from the development of the initial outline plan to the release of the published report. Research project reports generally to carry the name of the Team Leader and they are usually considered to be personal publications.
Draft research reports are generally circulated to all active project participants for comment prior to the report's finalisation. Nevertheless, the Foundation retains complete independence over the editorial approach taken within all of the organisation's reports.
Several interested parties have raised the possibility of the Kokoda Foundation conducting research on particuarly sensitive issues without open publication. The Board of the Foundation is prepared to consider such possibilities on a case-by-case basis.
The board of the Foundation is open to conducting research projects on topics that are:
Topics that are clearly or potentially very important for Australia's future. There is little interest in historical analysis unless they are brief and conducted merely to throw light on an important future challenge. Similarly, the Foundation does not plan to engage extensively in routine politico-military commentary on current events. The Foundation plans to focus on the large tides and the potentially huge swells of the future rather than on the ripples of today.
Topics that relate to Australia's security - broadly defined. The Foundation is not only concerned with military security, but also with economic, resource, human, bio-technological and information system security, to name just a few.
Topics that are clearly of considerable importance to Australia's security in the future will receive priority.

Listening for Islam's silent majority
As Osama bin Laden calls for a jihad, and militants rally, where are the moderate Muslims?
In the warm autumn sunshine, worshippers stream out of London Central Mosque, their Muslim duty of attending Friday noon prayers fulfilled.
They are greeted at the gates by young bearded men with megaphones, bellowing their rage at the way America is waging the war on terrorism.
The two images frame a battle for the soul of Islam that is taking on new urgency in the wake of Sept. 11.
Inside Britain's best-known mosque, a pillar of moderate respectability, the faithful have just heard Sheikh Saeed Radhwan give a calm, erudite discourse on the nature of worship in Islam.
Outside, the message is simple, direct, and aggressive: "Who is the terrorist? Bush is the terrorist!" shouts one protester, flanked by posters of Afghans killed or injured in recent bombing raids.
A few hours earlier, on the other side of the world, Irfan Shah had also attended noon prayers - in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. He had heard a more political sermon, urging Muslims to defend their brothers in Afghanistan against aggression.
"There has always been politics in the sermons," said Mr. Shah, a clean-shaven computer specialist dressed in Western clothes. "Sometimes I agree, sometimes I don't agree. But in Islam we can all think what we like."
The Friday prayers in mosques from London to Cairo to Islamabad are one way to take the global pulse of Islam. What's clear from these, and from interviews with Islamic scholars and leaders, is that the level of tension within the one-billion-member Muslim community is growing. The drama and scale of the tragedy of Sept. 11 have inspired some moderate Muslim leaders to gird their loins for fresh combat with their extremist co-religionists.
Yet, it's also apparent that, for the moment, the voices of moderation are few - and often conflicted. They condemn the terrorist attacks on the US as a violation of Islam. But many have long been critics of US foreign policy, and the current military retaliation in Afghanistan - a Muslim nation - is a hard sell to their followers.

Pink Grapefruit Tart with Edamame Ice Cream and Black Sesame Seeds Reviews
Bon Appétit | September 2007
reviews & comments (4)
Also, the pastry dough tasted a lot like Hamentaschen dough. And the marmalade was a bit sweet--next time I would use less sugar.
This was a HUGE hit. It was very attractive and not too heavy. I would recommend making the recipe in larger quantities. It takes a lot of work to make that dough, and then to only come out with six small tarts is really not worth it.

Seed companies have a bumper crop of customers
Seed sales are up 20 to 30 percent at wholesalers such as Irish Eyes Garden Seeds in Ellensburg because of the bad economy and worries about genetically modified crops. Burpee, the world's largest seed company, says it's selling thousands of a $10 "Money Garden" package that it says will grow $650 worth of vegetables.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Most popular seeds
BUSINESS IS UP 20 TO 30 PERCENT over last year at Irish Eyes, both in seeds under its own label and seeds it packages for companies such as Burpee and Park Seed. Here are the seeds that sold best for Burpee last year:
1. Green beans
2. Zucchini squash
3. Tomato
4. Lettuce
5. Cucumber
6. Peas
7. Sweet corn
8. Peppers (sweet and hot)
9. Carrot
10. Radish
Source: Burpee
Out here on a farm just off Interstate 90, Greg and Sue Lutovsky hear every day how the economy is going.
Not so great for everybody else, excellent for them.
America had its Victory Gardens in backyards during World War II — not just for the food, but also to boost morale.
Now Victory Gardens are making a comeback: the 2009 Recession version.
Sue is the one who answers the phone at the couple's Irish Eyes Garden Seeds, which produces more than 400 kinds of seeds (mostly vegetables), as well as 70 different kinds of potatoes and 25 kinds of garlic.
By some of the questions they get from customers, the couple know these are first-time gardeners.
"We had one person ask us which way the seed goes in the ground," says Sue.
These days, she's handling 100 customer calls a day, and the family business expects to gross $1 million in sales this year. Business is up 20 to 30 percent over last year, both in seeds under its own label and seeds it packages for companies such as Burpee and Park Seed.
The business has a dozen employees packing seeds from shelves full of bins.
In another warehouse, seed potatoes fill big wooden crates, the kind used in apple orchards. Last year, Irish Eyes produced 160,000 pounds of seed potatoes, up from 30,000 the year before.
They've already sold out of six varieties of the tubers.
Why potatoes?
Maybe people are reaching back, back into their collective memory, back when potatoes were a staple food. Irish Eyes gets its name from that connection, the eyes referring to the eyes in a potato.
"It's the perfect food crop. It's got everything you need. It's a food source with very little effort. It can be stored a long time," says Greg. "There are not many things you can harvest in September and still be eating in June. You could live on potatoes and half a cup of cream and be healthy."
Some dietitians would argue against a cream-and-potatoes diet, but there is no denying that many in this country are now in survival mode.
Out-of-state visitors
There is no retail outlet at the 13 acres at Irish Eyes (the couple leases an additional nearby 90 acres), but customers find it anyway in the wind-swept Ellensburg countryside.
Greg says the wind is just fine with him. It helps pollinate the crops, he says, and it keeps the crops dry so fungal disease is almost nonexistent.
Recently, a customer drove from Montana, and another from northern Idaho, to pick up potato seeds.
"We can ship them to you at the appropriate planting time, probably mid-April" Greg says he told them.
But the Montana customer, who bought 500 pounds of potato seeds, "physically wanted them in their hands, I guess afraid we might run out," says Greg.
Says Sue, "I think they're scared."
Greg says about the run on seeds, "It's just about everything that's happening in the world, the stock market, the economy."
The Montana customer, says Greg, is a contractor who does part-time farming and sells produce at local farmers markets.
With not too much contracting work these days, the farming helps a lot. Those 500 pounds of seed potatoes will produce 5,000 pounds of potato crop, says Greg.
Greg says others show that they're newbie gardeners by placing an order for, say, one-eighth of an ounce of tomato seeds.
"That's like 900 tomato seeds. That's a lot of plants," he says.
Still, there is a simple math about planting your own garden.
"If a person has been laid off, and had a finite amount of money, they're looking at spending $2 for a head of lettuce that'll last two days," says Greg. "Or for $2 they can buy a packet of lettuce seeds that has 300 seeds and eat lettuce all summer long."
Belt-tightening time
It's not just Irish Eyes that has been booming.
A retail garden store like Sky Nursery in Shoreline says seed business is up "at least 20 percent."
And Burpee, the Pennsylvania-based world's largest seed company, says business also is up by that much.
Although it came up with the idea too late for this year's print catalog, on its Web site Burpee sells a "Money Garden" that for $10 puts together $20 worth of pea, tomato, pepper, bean, lettuce and carrot seeds.
It says the seeds will produce "over $650 worth of vegetables!"
"People are belt-tightening, particularly on large-ticket items," says George Ball, chairman of Burpee. "It results in an almost Depression mentality."
But it's not just about saving money, says Bruce Butterfield, research director for the National Gardening Association.
"I think one place where a lot of people feel they have some small control over what is going on around them is in their backyard," he says. "It's this whole sense of, 'I'm gonna have better-quality food, and save money.' "
And if you don't have a backyard, or you want to garden in the company of others, P-Patches have proved popular.
In Seattle, the P-Patch program in 2008 had a waiting list of 1,230 for plots at its 68 sites, nearly triple the waiting list in 2006.
Food-system concerns
It's not just saving money that has increased business for Irish Eyes, says Greg Lutovsky.
It's also about GMOs.
That stands for genetically modified organisms — for example, corn that has been genetically modified to resist insects and diseases.
"People are starting to rebel against genetically modified seeds in our food system. There is no reason to have fish hormones spliced into a tomato," says Greg. He says that 95 percent of the seeds Irish Eyes sells are certified organic.
At Sky Nursery, Andrea Kurtz, 31, an acupuncturist who lives in Phinney Ridge, is looking over the seed rack.
This is the second year she's having a garden — Armenian slicing cucumbers, beets, pole beans, snow peas, lettuce, tomatoes. She's even going to raise chickens — three hens for eggs, and later they'll be slaughtered for meat.
"I like being able to grow what I eat, to pick something and eat it 10 minutes later," she says.
She's among the youngest of the garden crowd, who tend to be baby boomers.
Gordon Smith, 61, and Saphire Blue, 64, are husband and wife who've gardened for decades. They're retired city of Seattle employees, she a gardener, he a carpenter. They have two properties, one in Seattle and another on Vashon Island.
They talk about the joy of eating fresh produce.
But Saphire also mentions why they'll be growing more potatoes this year.
"If we have an earthquake, or in any way have to survive," she says, "you can trade potatoes with a neighbor for eggs."
That's not a quote you'd have expected to hear a couple of years ago during the boom times.
But these days, it's not about flipping houses for an easy profit.
Flipping dirt for that bumper bean crop is more like it.

There are many reasons, some technical, some organizational, some
First, we can't have virtual packages for shared libraries in Debian, so
we cannot provide two different versions of libjack.
Second, we don't want application A require jack1 and application B
jackd2, so you can't run both applications. As this would be the case if
you have different jackd versions with different feature sets, we
entirely counter this by only packaging one version.
This is also beneficial wrt supporting. We don't want different problems
with different versions, we don't want writing patches twice, once for
jackd1 and a second time for jackd2.
Foremost, we don't want users to stumble because they're using "the
wrong" version. To us, jackd has nothing to do with choice, it's simply
an inter-application framework for routing audio/midi data, and no user
should ever need to care about this. (Do you care about libreadline? It
simply has to be there)
That said, we expect upstream to provide at least one feature-complete
jackd implementation. This means DBUS support (pulseaudio integration),
jack-session support, ladish support or whatever the feature should be,
e.g. SMP.
Since jack-session is rather new and the decision was made prior to
this, since CCRMA and Gentoo's pro-audio overlay all use jackd2, we
chose jackd2 to be this feature-complete jackd implementation.
If you want jack-session to fly, you need to have it in jackd2. It's
that simple. ;)
Consider this as a chance to avoid even more divergence among jackd
